And a Happy Canada Day to all!!

Normally, we Canadians are a quiet and introspective people unless there’s a Hockey title on the line, but at the halfway point of the year we like to stand up and recognize our own greatness. That’s right for one day a year, we Canadians get to be the loud, obnoxious jerks we have always wanted to be! So join us in our jerkiness, and have a great day!

In other celebration news, it’s someone special in my life’s birthday and as a result, I am going to make an attempt at cooking! I can’t promise that it will go well, hell, I can’t even promise that everyone will survive, but damned if I’m not going to try! The weird thing is, I generally hate cooking. But for special occasions, I start to get into it and quite enjoy it. What can I say? I am a man of many layers, each richer and more complex than the last.

On to some sadder stuff. I mentioned this on The Watchtower page, but over the weekend Comics lost a legend. Michael Turner, artist behind Fathom, Witchblade and countless covers and other books passed away as a result of complications with bone cancer. Turner’s art often stirred up controversy, and he was not liked by some, but I enjoyed his sharp style, and no one can argue that he didn’t draw great comic-book pinups. His contribution to the world of comics was vast, and he will be missed.

OK, onto brighter things. It’s July, which officially means I can start pimping our next appearance! We are doing the Paradise Toronto ComiCON which runs July 12-13th in our fair city here. It’s a purely Comic Book-based convention, so if you are a fan of these printed panels, you should come and check it out! We’ll be there with some cool swag, and a major announcement, so stay tuned for details on both!

All right, I’m off to enjoy a Canada Day in the sun!

Hello dear friends,

I just wanted to keep you all in the loop in regards to some work we are doing behind the scenes of both No Reason and The Watchtower.

Both The Watchtower and No Reason run off of something called Wordpress MU (bear with me, because this is all just how I understand things). This weekend, they released a new version of MU, and when we uploaded it, bad things happened. The technical details are beyond me, but our databases and other databases are now merged, and there are some major coding problems.

We’ve enlisted everyone we know who has any experience with MU, and Jamie is working ’round the clock to fix the problem(s). That said, how this will affect service remains to be seen. So far, so good in that nothing seems to have crapped out entirely. However, as we tinker and try and fix these problems, there may be periods of downtime.

It’s at this time that I would like to extend my hearty thanks to the people behind this new version MU, who’s response to our request for assistance has be something to the like of “hey, you didn’t have to install it.” Thanks for the help guys.

In the meantime though, June is Boob Month, and we are doing everything in our power to bring it to you in all it’s firm, perky goodness!!
